Chicken Afritada

2.2 lbs (1 kilo) Chicken drumsticks

tbsp Olive Oil, (or oil of choice)

Garlic, (crushed)

Onion, (chopped)

Roma

fish

water

Bay leaves

Red potato, (quartered and then sliced again*)

red bell pepper, (chopped*)

carrot, (chopped*)

Del Monte Tomato Ketchup, (or tomato sauce)

green peas, (fresh

Heat the oil in a deep pan or Dutch oven. Add the chicken pieces and fry until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer the chicken to another plate. Set aside.

To the oil that’s left add the garlic and onions.

Cook for a couple of minutes and then add the tomatoes. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften a bit. Stir the veggies to remove the remaining brown bits on the bottom.

Return the chicken to the pan. Add 2 Tablespoon of fish sauce (or salt – not 2 Tablespoons but according to taste) and a little water (about 1/4 -1/3 cup). Add the bay leaves and simmer until chicken is tender. Check after half an hour or so.

While the chicken is cooking prepare the potatoes and carrots. When the chicken is tender, add the potatoes and carrots. Cook for about 10 minutes. While the carrots are cooking, prepare the bell peppers. Chop or slice them in roughly the same size as the carrots and potatoes.  Refer to the photos of the chicken afritada for some guidance.

Add the bell peppers and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.

When both chicken and veggies are all tender, add the ketchup or tomato sauce with the green peas and the bacon pieces. Cook until green peas are tender and the sauce is fully heated through.

Adjust seasoning, if needed. You may sprinkle a little brown sugar to sweeten or balance the flavor. Enjoy!

I love this recipe for the terrific combination of flavors and will make it again with one major change. Before getting to that change, I added some ingredients: tomato paste into the almost-cooked onion for added depth of flavor; canned garden tomatoes instead of whole; a parmesan rind to the liquid for flavor; and a little paprika for color. Finally, I added about two tablespoons of ground flax seed to thicken the sauce a bit.

What I learned here was that starchy vegetables cooked in an acid solution will resist softening. After 45 minutes of cooking covered at boiling temp, the potatoes and carrots will still hard - nearly raw. I had to keep cooking for about two hours to get to al dente. I used bone in whole legs so the chicken survived. Here's what Bon Appetite magazine says on the matter:
“This means that fruits and vegetables cooked in an acid liquid—a tomato sauce for example, or other fruit juices and purées—may remain firm during hours of cooking, while in neutral boiling water, neither acid nor alkaline, the same vegetables soften in 10 or 15 minutes.”

So, next time, I'll hold off on adding the tomato until the potatoes and carrots are softened a bit or par cook them separately.

Chicken Afritada is a hearty Filipino tomato-based chicken stew rich in flavor and filled with tender chicken, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and a touch of savory cheese.
